Drunk Painting Is Drunk

Sarah's second part of her sober/drunk diptych. And I just now realized her drunk painting depicts alcohol in it. She's an artistic genius.

I Hope This Experiment Doesn't Make You Want to Do What Stewie's Doing

Ok, today's post is a big deal. This is the FIRST TIME IN FREE PAINTINGS HISTORY that I'm having a guest painter. That's right. If you missed the most recent Free Paintings video, I arted with my YouTuber friend, Sarah Croce. So this and the following masterpieces are hers. I hope you like this little shakeup. I may even do it again in the future!

Arted Under the Influence

Had to skip a couple posts this weekend because I was traveling. Two shows back-to-back! One in SF on Saturday and then LA on Sunday!



Here's the drunkenly-painted counterpart to Calvin. Can you tell a difference?

Calvin Is Thinking Hard About This

Well if you watched my video from yesterday, you've already seen this guy. But not this professional-art-documentation photograph of him. Oh wait, you have to get paid to do something before it's professional.

The First Free Paintings Collab!

Sorry I had such a lapse! NextUp was really darn cool. And since then I've had a chaotic couple of weeks with interneting and making music and stuff. So I'm making it up to you with a big video in my Free Paintings series! I teamed up with my YouTuber buddy, Sarah Croce, for my first ever guest star in the Free Paintings project!! I hope you like :)

A (Hopefully) Good Reason for This Lapse

No, I haven't been laying at a pool for weeks. I got accepted as one of the creators in this year's NextUp! I'm spending the week doing 12-hour days at the YouTube Space LA. It's seriously cutting into my painting but will also seriously improve my videos. So I hope you'll understand :) I'll be back posting again once I've graduated!

A Balloon for Partying Next Week

I'm heading out of town on vacation next week so I'm not going to be posting for a bit. Even artists deserve a spring break, right?



Hopefully this guy won't be deflated by the time I get back.

Who's More Evolved?

There are a possible eight thumbs up that could happen here.

Fishy Friends

I thought this was kind of a weird combo to be painting together. After opening both these animal's Wikipedia pages, I realized they have similar diets. Not exactly the same, but close enough that they can be buddies. Like an Atkins guy talking to a Paleo gal about meal planning.

It's All in the Details

The final Battlestar Galactica painting for Patrick. What he doesn't know is that I painted him piloting the ship so it's also a portrait!

Some People on the Internet Are Real

Battlestar Galactica painting number two for Patrick. I'm usually painting for strangers but with these, I had the pleasure of painting for someone I've met as an actual human person in real life because he came to my last concert in LA!

Saying Thanks with a Series

This is one of three Battlestar Galactica paintings for one of my top-tier Patreon team members. He's been a huge supporter for a while now (Not just monetarily but positive internet vibes, too) so I figured he deserved a whole series. And three days of shoutouts on here. Hi, Patrick!

I'm About to Make You Roar With Laughter

This painting has a lion as the mane character.

Size Does Not Matter

This is my depiction of an alien. Would you be scared if you came across this? I think it would be affected by how big he is. Like, if your head came up to the top of one of his tentacles then, yeah. Scared. If he was the size of a quarter and you could step on him, maybe not. But then I'd expect there to be tons more at that size. So a swarm of quarter-sized, purple, one-eyed aliens that completely obscures the couch you're sitting on as they crawl over each other towards you... Ok, scared again.

Unnatural

I kinda felt weird painting a squirrel on pink. Like, they'd naturally be hanging out in green trees. Or against blue sky. But what has this squirrel gotten into that he's surrounded by pink?

Video of Video Game Art

Today's painting was featured in my Free Paintings video series! Watch my impressionistic Yoshi come to life below.

Fitting Flapping Free Flag

Good thing it's flapping in just the right way, otherwise it wouldn't fit on the canvas

Four Years of Art School Totally Taught Me Colors

I titled this a Pink Elephant (actually the third one I've painted), but he's really not exactly pink. More like a dark salmon. But a painting titled Salmon Elephant should probably be some weird, half-fish, trunked creature, right? Oh goodness, no one request that, please.

Next Time I'll Paint a Bar of Soap

This bird has crappier SEO than the skincare brand. Like, significantly crappier. You have to scroll halfway down page two before you get to a link about birds. Jeez, step up your metadata game, white pigeons.

Her and Everyone Else That Does This

I know this is one painting. But it's certainly much more work than a portrait of just one dog. I wouldn't say that X number of subjects in a painting equals X times the amount of effort. But it certainly errs closer to the latter. I guess what I'm saying is, I hope this requester appreciates that I juggled four jpegs for her and crammed four characters in the space I usually fit one.
